Motion Computing have just announced the release of the Motion C5 - a new tablet PC designed specifically for teh Health Care industry.
From the product brochure:
The Motion C5 was designed based on input from thousands of clinicians to simplify workflow and
improve efficiency. It is the first mobile clinical assistant that integrates technology from Intel® Health.
A convergence of technologies in the C5 allows you to do everything you normally do during your
shift such as administer medication, record clinical notes and take pictures using one single device.
With Intel® Centrino® mobile technology and high-speed wireless connectivity, the C5 integrates key
functions that clinicians require to be productive during the course of the day.
The C5 includes some really innovative features and options including:
- Integrated camera
- Integrated RFID
- Integrated barcode reader
- View Anywhere screen
- Integreated moulded handle
- Semi-rugged, sealed case (so it can be wiped down with disinfectant)
The camera, RFID and barcode reader could really enable some cool end-to-end solutions that streamline the data capture and start off automated workflow.
